>We just ran into an interesting call from a customer that may be of some help of you in the future (actually it's a problem from the past). The call went something like this.

I knew what the problem was as soon as I saw this. I knew partly because I stayed in the dBase III world too long, and then in the FP2.6 world too long, but mostly because I recently bought the Hacker's Guide and found "The Single Letter Blues" under "It's a Feature, Not a Bug."
